The theme of the fifth issue of Fight Boredom is "Fight Boredom with Girl Love!" Not hate! My sister and I asked some friends an acquaintances about their thoughts on jealousy, girl-hate and the current buzz around a supposed riot grrrl revival and this is what we came up with.

This issue includes contributions from Maranda Elizabeth (of Telegram Ma'am), Ocean Capewell (High On Burning Photographs), Jamie (Academic Fugitive and feminist music blog Rock & The Single Girl), and many more. We've written about things like avoiding jealousy, breaking down the "mean girl" stereotype, reclaiming sexist language, the problems with rape analogies and jokes, plus manifestos and recommended reading.

From the intro:

"When I began working on this zine, I was not attempting to make a "riot grrrl zine" or to "revive" anything. The idea came to me years ago; it was to be a mini-zine distributed at random, mostly to girls, about jealousy and girl-hate and what we can do to fight it... I wanted to give this zine not necessarily to girls involved in zines, or feminism, or any sort of underground scene, but rather to girls that I meet at parties and shows, strangers on the bus, classmates at school. I wanted to put them inside books and magazines at the library. I wanted to give them to girls that I know who straight-up don't like me."

Quarter-size, 34 pages, black and white with hand-coloured covers.
